Machine for forming partial pieces made of hand-rolled tobaccos for manufacturing hand-rolled cigarettes, has metering unit testing whether weight of partial pieces corresponds to predetermined weight reference value

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The machine has separation devices (19) connected with a metering balance (28) that activates the separation devices, so that a portion (18) of a thread reaches a preset weight value. A metering unit (4) comprises a control balance (30) that is arranged downstream after the separation devices along a path (D). The metering unit tests whether weight of partial pieces manufactured by the separation devices corresponds to a predetermined weight reference value. The metering unit contains a contact-less measuring device. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for forming partial pieces made of a fiber material. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Machine for forming partial pieces made of fiber materials i.e. hand-rolled tobaccos, for manufacturing hand-rolled cigarettes. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The metering unit tests whether the weight of partial pieces manufactured by the separation devices corresponds to the predetermined weight reference value, thus enabling precise, fast and reliable formation of the partial pieces made of the fiber materials with reduced space requirement. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a machine for forming partial pieces made of fiber materials.
